Collaboration

Edit together

Everyone with access to a doc can have it open at the same time. Changes appear for everyone as they are typed, and you can see who else is in the doc. You don't need to save — Spaces saves as you go.

Comments

Select text or a block and add a comment to start a thread. Open the Comments panel on the right to see every thread on the doc. In a thread you can reply, edit or delete your own comments, and resolve the thread when it is done.

You need at least the Commenter role to comment. See Sharing and permissions.

@mentions and notifications

Type @ in a comment or in the doc to mention a teammate. Spaces notifications go to your Agent Serve notifications inbox:

  • [person] mentioned you in [doc]
  • [person] replied in [doc] — to everyone in the thread
  • [person] commented on [doc] — to the doc's creator, for a new thread
  • [person] shared [doc] with you

Click a notification to open the doc. A comment, reply, or mention notification also opens its comment thread. The inbox shows Spaces notifications from the last 30 days. Spaces does not send email notifications.

Version history

Spaces keeps earlier versions of every doc. Open the doc's ⋯ menu and choose View history version. The list on the right shows each version with its time and who made the change. Click one to preview it, then click Restore current version to bring it back, or Back to doc to leave without changes.

  • A version is saved automatically at most every 10 minutes while a doc is being edited.
  • Restoring saves a Before restore version first, so a restore can itself be undone.
  • Accepting edits from Chat saves a Before Chat edits version first. See Spaces and Chat.
  • History shows up to 200 versions, and versions are kept for 30 days by default.

On Enterprise plans, your organization's data retention settings decide how long versions and trashed docs are kept.
